2. Type the following command:
arp -s
Where is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the IPC-16-R and the is
the MAC Address of the IPC-16-R. The MAC Address is located on a label on the rear panel of the card.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1
|--- new IP addr. ---| |------- MAC addr. ------|
3. Ping the IPC-16-R to program the IP address into the IPC-16-R.
Type: ping
If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed
properly, or the IP or MAC Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the problem persists, contact the
Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.
4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d
5. Ping the IPC-16-R to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the card fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline.
4.10.4. Unix, Linux
Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an IP Address using ARP. The unit should be pinged
after the IP Address has been set to confirm proper operation.
4.10.5. Setting IP Address with Telnet
For initial setup, the computer used must use the same network segment as the default IP Address, or current IP
address. (192.168.1.xxx) If this is not the case, use one of the other methods. To connect to the IPC-16-R using
telnet, run your telnet client program (provided with your operating system) and connect to the IP address as set in
step one above.
For Windows:
Select Run…Telnet
Connect…192.168.1.254 (or the current IP address)
As soon as you connect the following message will be displayed:
4.10.6. Setting IP address via Serial Port
The serial port uses the same menu sequences as the Telnet method described above. Connect a terminal directly
to the IPC-16-R serial port. Send an Enter keystroke to start the session. The serial port default settings are
9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit. These setting can also be changed via the menus.
4.10.7. Setting IP Address with setip.exe
Utility setip.exe is available from Dataprobe’s website at http://dataprobe.com/support/rss/setip.exe . Download this
windows program and run it on any computer on the same physical network segment as the control card. Enter the
MAC address and desired IP address and press SetIP.
4.11. Setting other Parameters
Via the Serial Port or telnet, all other configuration parameters can be set for the IPC-16-R. These setting are made
from the Command Line Interface, as described in the section 4.13 . Some specific settings to consider are:
Location Name: Enter a 1-20 character name to identify the system. This name appears at the top of each telnet
screen and web page.
